 part of its ongoing &#8216;Encountering the Author&#8217; series, the University of Western Sydney is hosting a special event on animal rights. The focus of this event will be &#8216;Animals, Equality and Democracy&#8217; by Siobhan O&#8217;Sullivan from the University of Melbourne.
<strong><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">&nbsp;</span></strong>In <i>Animals, Equality and Democracy
</i>Siobhan O'Sullivan exposes inconsistencies in animal protection laws that favour the most popular, best known nonhuman animals. She also shows that protections vary depending on how we want to make use of a particular animal, with the most visible animals
 receiving the strongest level of protection. She argues that contemporary animal welfare laws make the lives of animals akin to a lottery. O'Sullivan calls this the 'internal inconsistency' and argues that animal protection inequalities offend fundamental
 liberal democratic values.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
